The EPA published Risk Management Program (RMP) regulations in the 1990s requiring facilities storing hazardous substances above threshold quantities to submit Risk Management Plans. The EPA proposed new RMP provisions in 2016 in response to chemical incidents, including requiring facilities to improve public access to chemical hazard information and conduct emergency response exercises. Facilities with higher risk processes would need to conduct root cause analyses, compliance audits, and coordinate emergency response. If finalized, facilities would have one to four years to comply with new emergency response and accident prevention requirements.

NatureView Farm Inc. is a yogurt manufacturer that needs to increase its revenues from $13 million to $20 million by the end of 2001. It is considering three expansion options: 1) Expanding its 8oz yogurt into two supermarket regions, 2) Expanding its 32oz yogurt nationally in supermarkets, or 3) Introducing a children's multipack in natural food stores. Option 1 has the highest revenue potential but also the highest risks and costs. Option 2 has lower risks but uncertainty around national distribution within a year. Option 3 does not meet the revenue goal. The analysis suggests Option 1 is the best choice as it allows NatureView to enter supermarkets while minimizing risks and costs compared to the 8oz size.Natureview

The document provides information on the yogurt market and Natureview brand. It notes that yogurt was consumed by 40% of the population and the market was expected to grow 2-4% annually. Natureview manufactured organic yogurt using a family recipe, introducing 8oz and 32oz containers initially in plain and vanilla flavors. It faced a problem when a major investor cashed out, requiring Natureview to increase revenue from $13 million to $20 million. It considered three options: expanding 8oz yogurt in supermarkets, 32oz yogurt nationally in supermarkets, or increasing children's multi-packs in natural food stores. Analysis found the 32oz supermarket expansion to be the best option to generate sufficient revenue with relatively lower costs.Nature View Farm

This document proposes a direct-to-consumer condominium model for an integrated industrial hemp supply chain focused on cannabidiol (CBD) production. It outlines opportunities and threats in the hemp/cannabis market, and describes a patent-protected supply chain model that would allow consumers to purchase "condo units" guaranteeing a set annual amount of CBDs derived from their designated hemp crop. The model is presented as a way to make hemp-derived CBDs more affordable and accessible compared to cannabis-based options. Key points include cultivating hemp on farms, processing CBDs, compounding products, and distributing benefits across the supply chain in a cooperative manner.Natureview Farm - HBR Case Study

This document discusses promoting traditional crops in India through a sustainable business model. Small farmers are moving away from agriculture due to uncertainty and lack of expertise. Traditional crops require low input technology and have better nutritional qualities than hybrids. The proposed business model would develop marketing and branding for traditional crops. It would highlight their silent quality features and distribute profits evenly among farmers and others in the system. The objectives are to promote geographical indicators, utilize local resources, and establish processing and distribution channels to increase profits from traditional crops.Direct Marketing

Natureview Farm produces organic yogurt and is considering expanding its distribution channels to meet investor demands for 50% revenue growth. Its options are: 1) Expand 8oz cups into eastern/western supermarket regions, 2) Expand 32oz cups nationally in supermarkets, or 3) Expand children's multipacks in natural food stores. Option 1 offers the highest revenue potential but also the highest costs and risks given Natureview's inexperience in supermarkets. Option 2 has good margins but national distribution may be challenging within a year. Option 3 is financially attractive but does not position the company for a potential supermarket entrance. The summary recommends pursuing Option 1 to meet growth goals while gaining supermarket experience, though it carries the most challenges.Case 2 natureview farm case study by soumya jaiswal,nitrr

Option 1 has the highest revenue potential but also the most risk. Option 2 has the lowest risk but may not meet growth objectives. Option 3 has moderate revenue potential and risk. Based on potential for $20M revenue and first-mover advantages, Option 1 of expanding 8oz cups into supermarkets is recommended to maximize sales and profit.Pork: Marketing Alternatives

2. Cattle generally had better daily weight gain on pastures with mixtures of timothy, meadow fescue, and bluegrass, but mixtures including tall fescue provided more gain per acre. Reseeding legumes every 2-3 years is important to sustain productivity.
3. Managing grazing to reduce mud and extending the grazing season through techniques like bale grazing can help lower winter feeding costs for cattle in eastern Canada's climate. Shelter, body conditionL3 small cows

It notes that traditional CoP calculations only look at a single growing season and other costs like multi-year investments are not fully captured. The document advocates calculating both costs of production and benefits of production to better assess sustainability. It also discusses how climate change and other risks can make CoP calculations more variable and less effective as a performance measure over time.B3 record keeping

This document discusses the importance and benefits of on-farm record keeping. It notes that record keeping allows farms to be managed by providing data on costs, activities, finances, and other metrics over time. Proper record keeping is essential for compliance, financial planning, traceability, and analyzing farm performance and costs of production. The document provides examples of different types of records farms can keep and recommends starting with key questions to determine what specific data should be prioritized. It also discusses best practices for organizing records through entity relationship diagrams and data modeling to facilitate analysis and insights. Spatial mapping of farm features and activities over years is also presented as an important component of comprehensive record keeping.

The document provides relationship advice for farm families based on a presentation by Michelle Wolf at an ACORN conference. Some of the key relationship lessons discussed include using gardening and farmers' market management as metaphors for relationships, understanding love languages and speaking your partner's language, adopting the 100/0 relationship principle of taking full responsibility while expecting nothing in return, building shared habits and rituals, paying attention to "bids for closeness", managing conflict effectively, and developing the skill of having difficult conversations. Resources are offered to help couples strengthen communication and nurture their relationships.

This document discusses various plant breeding techniques including recurrent selection, pedigree breeding, backcrossing, population breeding, and hybrid breeding. It provides examples of each technique and explains concepts like dominant and recessive traits, true breeding, and heterozygotes. Specific projects are summarized, like developing a sweet striped pepper and an early red bell pepper variety through selection of farmer varieties. Breeding projects acknowledge funders and collaborators.S2 dynamics of proprietary seed mazourek acorn

This document discusses the dynamics between public and private seed development over time. It begins with open-pollinated seeds in the early 20th century and the rise of certified seed programs and early seed companies. Later, the development of hybrids, intellectual property protections, industry consolidation, and the resurgence of small seed companies distributing locally adapted varieties are described. The document also outlines the pedigree breeding process and issues around searching for seed, material transfer agreements, licenses, and how the author's university supports their public plant breeding program through royalty structures.S1 stock seed

Stock seed, also known as breeder's seed, is the highest quality seed maintained by the breeder to ensure genetic purity. There are different classes of certified seed including breeder, foundation, registered, and certified seed. Maintaining genetic purity of stock seed is important and involves minimizing contamination and strictly rogueing off-types before pollination. Producing stock seed infrequently helps maintain genetic purity over time by reducing genetic drift. Proper storage methods like cool, dry conditions also preserve genetic integrity.
Dykerman economics ofwholesalevegetableproduction_2013
- 1. 2013 ACORN Conference Delta Beaus辿jour, Moncton NB Workshop Title: Economics of Wholesale Vegetable Production Speaker(s) & their titles: Matt Dykerman, Red Soil Organics (PEI) Executive Summary Matt Dykerman's farm, Red Soil Organics, is a 60-acre mixed vegetable operation in PEI specializing in wholesale. They also produce 100 acres of grain and cover crops. Red Soil Organics serves retailers across Atlantic Canada and Eastern Canada. In this presentation, Matt talked about how to sell successfully to retail and distributors, and discussed the successes and challenges of using a wholesale distribution system. Detailed Notes Matt grew up doing conventional production, and has recently transitioned part of the farm to organic. Differences between conventional and organic wholesale distribution: Void in the marketplace for organics; there's not much marketing info available for organic producers Organic producers sometimes have to learn pricing the hard way Price of Admission into wholesale distribution-Costs for things that retailers expect Food safety credentials (Red Soil is GAP certified)---expectation for certification and type of certification will vary by retailer Liability insurance Organic certification Production costs at Red Soil Organics: $65/hr for tractor work $15/hr for labor You have to decide on prices that make economic sense for your farm and your production costs. Example : Cost per acre for producing Cauliflower (see slide for the full table) This table breaks down the cost per acre to produce a cauliflower crop at Red Soil Organics, considering labor costs, fertilizer costs, fuel costs, etc. In this example the cost of transplanting accounts for two people transplanting on a tractor. The fertilizer in this case is pelleted chicken fertilizer. Yield sensitivity analysis: how much it will cost to produce under different scenarios (depending on yield) Breaks down to cost of production per carton. The increase in yield will result in a lower cost per carton to ship out. Yields are within 90% of conventional production, which he considers very good. Pricing and Margins: Setting prices can be a big challenge, as there isn't much market information available for wholesale organics. Rules of Thumb:
- 2. 2013 ACORN Conference Delta Beaus辿jour, Moncton NB 1.Know competition What are they selling it for, where are they from, what are their costs of production Retailers are not going to go out of their way to buy from you if someone else is selling for a lower price 2.Work backwards from retail i.e. Organic cauliflower is $3.99 at retail Retailer's desired margin=35 to 50 points Wholesale price=$2 to $2.60 3.Know your competition California, Quebec, regional competitors 'Local' is a selling point---if you can match the prices from another province, retailers would take your products for the local branding (but probably won't pay more) Links in the Supply Chain Retailers Wholesalers---hold warehouses to store products Brokers---middlemen who do not hold warehouses, just make the phone calls from farmer to retailers Processors The best thing for the farmer is to sell directly to the retailer if possible, although sometimes there are advantages to going through wholesale or brokers. They use all four links at Red Soil Organics. Purchasing and Capital Investments Think in systems---invest in machinery that complements what you have and based on what makes sense for you and the scale you're at Determine payback period----how long will it take to receive a return on your investment? How to finance capital investments? -Farm Credit Canada, which is an arm's length branch of the Canadian government. They will finance producers at competitive rates. Do have young farmer programs, i.e. reduced interest rates. -Banks Farm Credit Canada is generally more open to dealing with farmers than standard banks, and are more familiar with the risks that are associated with farming.
